Michael J. Wilson Jr. wrote Loving Lions from both sides of addiction: as the person families were trying to save, and as the professional who now helps them. Here is why that matters.
Addiction turns the person you love into something the old love no longer works on. The Loving Lions framework explains why, and gives families an honest place to start.
Loving Lions is a field guide for families living with a loved one's addiction. Here is what the book covers and how families actually use it.
When addiction and a mental health condition occur together, treating one while ignoring the other rarely holds. Dual diagnosis care treats both at once. Here is what that means, why it works, and what to look for in a program.
Day treatment, also called a partial hospitalization program or PHP, is the most intensive care available while still sleeping at home. Here is how a typical day is structured and who it fits.
East Point Behavioral Health was built by someone who has stood on the other side of addiction. That origin shapes how the program treats both the person and the family.
Forty to sixty percent of people treated for a substance use disorder return to use within a year, on par with hypertension and asthma. NIDA calls relapse a prompt to re-engage care, not proof of failure. Most treatment software stops paying attention at discharge, and that gap is where recovery is won or lost.
